Do you shave everything, trim it? Have you gotten laser?

I want to keep my vagina as smooth as possible but that's not easy with a razor

Anonymous 3509

I try and keep a landing strip ish type of shape. Everything else is shaved off. I shave about once a week because my skin is super sensitive and gets irritated otherwise. ;-;

Anonymous 3510

Shave the bikini area, trim the rest. But some time ago i trimmed too small and for some reason I got an infection in my vagoo (lips got swollen and it was super itchy). First time that has happened to me

Wow anon, how long did that last?

I usually shave everything… I wanted to wax myself, I just don't know if that is possible.

Anonymous 3512

I used to shave everything off for about 9 years - started very early, when I was maybe 13 (I did play around with keeping a strip, but I just thought of Hitler whenever I saw it, so I got rid of it). I tried sugarwaxing but a) it took hours and still wasn't over b) it hurt too much and I managed to give myself bruises. Nowadays I shave the bikini area and trim the rest when I feel like it. I got to appreciate my bush over time, and think it's kinda cute.

Anonymous 3514

i only shave sometimes, but when i do i use a razor after trimming and then cover myself in baby oil. i usually go back and put more baby oil on at least once a day until it grows back which keeps it quite soft.

Anonymous 3515

I used to shave everything off, but I'm too lazy to keep it smooth all the time and I hate the feeling of a stubble. So I just trim everything now, since I don't have a lot of pubic hair to begin with. My bf doesn't mind.

there's 2 main reasons, one is micro cuts due to razor blades or accidentally nicking yourself with scissors or clippers, the tiny breaches in the skin let bacteria try to invade
second one is shaved or cut hairs have a blunt, not tapered, end. as pubic hair is quite coarse & curly there is the chance of the hair end being in contact with skin and irritating the hell out of it (see ingrown hair & perifolliculitis barbae)

>>3511
technically possible, if you are flexible enough and can tolerate the pain. however if you're prone to ingrown hairs, it's not advisable.

If you're suitable for laser hair removal, that's probably your best bet. I got it on my bikini line for hair on my inner thighs, had 6 sessions 10 years ago and there's only like 5 hairs that ever grew back. Best money I ever spent.

Anonymous 3590

kept it for a while, shaved it smooth for years, and then recently decided to grow it back out at the same time I chose to grow out all my body hair. even if i get shit this summer in a swimsuit i won't change it… not shaving is soooo much easier lmao

I trim it as well, I think it looks the best that way. I never understood why a large amount of guys are so repulsed by pubic hair. Not even indifferent or neutral to it, but disgusted. As long as it's kept clean and not a jungle I think it can be sexy. Shaved can look nice too, I think both ways have their appeal.

I think trimmed pubic hair looks hot, so I just shave the edge where the thighs meets the mons pubis so it's looks neat and trim the rest

Anonymous 4679

I don't do anything, except occasionally hack at it with scissors when I feel like the length is bothering me. I guess I'd trim it properly if I ever got in a relationship, but if nobody except me is going to see it I can't be bothered.

In here from /fit/ because there is a thread about crystal.cafe and I'll go on my way and leave you girls to your business. But I'll tell ya now that the full 70's bush is God tier. It shows confidence and it doubles as a litmus test for potential men. If a guy sees it and looks confused or repulsed, that man is a closet homo at the very least. Sorry for intruding but just know minimum grooming effort will yield maximum result.(YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US)

This was why I initially started shaving, was to keep periods neater. Once I stopped having periods I started only shaving during the summer. I live in a cold climate so most of the time I just trim - the more body heat retained, the better.

I don't shave or trim at all and haven't for roughly three years now. Sometimes it's a bit of a nuisance (i.e. when I'm on my period and it gets mucky easily or if I'm going to the beach and I get really self-conscious about the stray hairs poking out and the bulge), but it's definitely better than the days of my early teens where I was using hair removal cream that stank to high heaven and left a red rash behind for days.

Also, my boyfriend's into the floof. Says he likes the friction. Pic related.

I used to keep it clean shaven (shaved every 4 days religiously) when I was regularly fucking (insecure fat girl who didn't want to alienate the straight boys even more than I already do) but now I'm much lazier about it. I don't like it getting too out of control since I get itchy if I let it regrow for too long, but there's enough down there to put any pedophiles off.

I have an electric razor that trims hair close to the skin, but I haven't straight up shaved my bikini area in a long time.
I used to always keep it smooth, but that's a waste of a good razor for something that 1) wasn't been seen by literally anyone and 2) would grow back, create stubble, and ITCH.

pubic hair is annoying and itchy.
you don't have to keep it bald, but there's no reason to let it grow out. you can take it down with clippers once a month and it will be more manageable and less annoying, and it won't itch because you're not irritating the skin. I do not understand why so many girls are all or nothing on this issue. having a mass of coarse scraggly hair rubbing against your crotch all day doesn't feel good.

going by that image, 3/4 of men cut their pubes too, so what exactly is the feminist statement anyway?

I don't shave completely smooth because I get too sensitive, but I like to keep trimmed because the feeling of having a full bush is uncomfortable.

Anonymous 8114

Are there any other women here who just… don't really shave their pubic hair, or at all?

I have on occasion (the first time, just to see how it felt) but I can count the times I've done it on my fingers. I've also never shaved my face, armpits, or legs in my life (I'm 19, not necessarily a long life) and it's never bothered my past partners. My husband thinks it's great and has no problem with it. I've always sort of thought it pointless to shave something that will inevitably be back, and very soon, but I understand it's more often an aesthetic thing. I do feel bad for women who actually feel insecure about it, though.

Anonymous 8117

I usually just let my pubic hair grow out, I like how a natural bush looks and I like the friction during sex. Sometimes the whim strikes me and I remove it all with veet. I like the feeling of a clean behind and being hairless feels fun, too… Other than that I don't really trim. Having scissors down there stresses me out.

Question to the girls that shave it all down there: Is this an american/canadian/brit thing? I'm southern european and completely-shaved seems weird af to me. My older sister does it but because whe wants to get her whole body as tanned as possible(she doesn't shave her thighs tho)and wears very thin bikinis. I just cut enough from the sides so it doesn't get out of my underwear. If I shave more, wearing pants hurts.

I did years ago and tbh I don’t really remember much of it, so the pain couldn’t have been that bad. I had just graduated high school and one of the people who worked at the salon new my parents by chance and recognized my last name so it was really embarrassing and that’s mostly what I remember lol. I remember it felt really nice to treat myself to something like that, that’s really completely just for myself because I was a virgin at the time and not in a relationship.

I mean hey I don't blame her. I've been thinking of getting it done myself because it helps to have an extra set of eyes get off all the hair. Sort of like getting your hair done. Sure you can do it yourself, but the second person is going to be able to see more of your hair and be more precise in getting it all off.

Don’t hair remove, it will still be super itchy when it grows back and irritating. Just trim your hair.

I have thick coarse hair that grows very far apart. When I trim it, it looks like a sparse/balding head of hair down there. Should I go for a full shave? But then my skin isn't entirely hairless. You can still see the blue pigment of the roots (i.e. when you shave your armpit like what >>8151 explains).
It sucks to be pale, hairy, and have black hair.

I really don't like shaving the area because of irritation. I just got pubic hair laser for the first time about a week ago and the hairs are just starting to fall out. It's really quite satisfying. It'll grow back since it was just the first time but hopefully reduced and easier to manage.

I use a trimmer, it causes way less irritation, that or shaving gel, and only use a razor to get rid of remaining hairs.

i saw someone on tumblr saying they stopped shaving and after a year the hair became really soft and manageable, and then a few months ago during the summer i went to my friends pool party and there was another girl there who had long dark body hair, and i was so struck by her beauty and natural comfortability with her body that it inspired me to not want to shave. i have stopped shaving for about 4 months and i don't notice a change in softness or anything, and to be honest im still very turned off by seeing my leg hair, but im adjusting to it and fighting the urge to shave my legs and i feel great!
sometimes i shave like "the edges" of my pubes but it gets itchy and uncomfortable so i usually will take some small scissors and trim anything unruly. feelsgoodgirls

When I have too much free time I sit down and tweeze each hair one by one. It's like stress relief to me. Not having pubic hair makes using a bidet easier because then nothing blocks the water from going where it needs to go especially in cases where there's only a pail and it's harder to target. I also like how smooth the skin feels afterwards kek

Anonymous 18006

i shave armpit hair -> as selfcare because it actually feels gross to me (i do it during the winter and the summer because thats when it feels the most gross due to sweating, i really hate the feeling), and for aesthetics because its the only hairy part that i find ugly (it doesnt really bother me on blondes or any light colour for exemple because you dont see it as much but im a brunette)

i shave legs -> as selfcare because i love the smooth feeling you get in your bed or in your clothes after doing it, and i could say for aesthetics too because it gives a "clean" look but i dont really dislike it. same for my arms, i dont find hairy arms ugly. only armpits gross me out a bit

i trim pubic hair because it feels gross when its long. i dont dislike pubic hair visually until it gets long so thats also why i trim it but they gross me out physically just like armpits, due to sweating, odors, etc (also because genitals disgust me in general, actually). i shave it sometimes but thats rare. trimming helps keeping that area clean. also its uncomfortable when it gets long.

I use scissors to trim it down there yes. i wait until its long enough to do it and its fine, but you should not do it if you feel nervous or if you're clumsy ig. even I still did cut myself once, but it wasn't as bad as cuts made by a razor. my bf doesn't mind body hair so i really have no reason to shave it unless i rly want to, trimming with scissors is comfy and fast. obviously i dont go too near the "middle", theres no need to anyway, you dont have hair on your labia.

on your butt, like, the cheeks?? or around the anus? why do you bother? if you really want to ig you need to use better products, or at least products if you dont do already, before and after shaving.
if you cant find something safe/that works for you, you should prioritize your health and comfort. if youre very hairy, shaving armpits and maybe legs is enough for comfort, hygiene and aesthetics.

It's a lot easier to get it professionally waxed, and safer. I started going to a Chinese lady for bikini waxing after I had to go to the ER for surgery on a golf ball sized cyst from an ingrown hair on the front of my lower pelvis that was so painful I could barely stand going commando in oversized sweatpants, sitting down, or bending over. The surgery was even worse because they stuck a needle in the cyst with a numbing agent that did not relieve the pain from the incision at all. They had to give me laughing gas because I wouldn't stop crying and squirming.

Home waxing kits are pretty shit and hard to do on yourself because waxing is super painful. Easier to have it done by someone else because they don't feel your pain so they don't hesitate.

Most of the time I just let it grow out, but trim it around the labia so it doesn't get messy when I have a period. Every once in a while I want to check for poppable ingrowns or blackheads (I have dermatillomania) so I buzz it bald.

I was one of the first girls in my class to visibly hit puberty (or so I thought), and for years I was very ashamed of my body hair. I would shave it every single time I showered, and I would often be so itchy that it would bring me to tears – not from emotions, just the physical discomfort alone. I'm glad I don't do that anymore.

I epilate it. All of it.

After the first 2 times it doesn’t feel as excruciating and it lasts a long time, is not messy like waxing, I get no ingrowns or keratosis pilaris, and save for some redness a few minutes after, my kitty looks baby smooth.

Also, after doing it for all these years, it damaged the follicles enough that it grows very sparse now. Even if I let it grow, it still looks bald unless you get really close to it.

If you can stand pain, that’s the best choice imo.
